Delicious food. Fabulous service. Menu prices are not bad. $15 for an amazing burger and yummy fries . Fun music too that I haven't heard in a while...Jamiroquai and Seal! Back patio was super cute .
City Scene named the Hamburger Fonfon "Birmingham's Best Burger ." One of the things most impressive about it is its simplicity. The beef and bun are so superior that it almost doesn't need any extras. Read more
Laid back enough where it isn't stuffy feeling, but fancy enough to be somewhere you could spend a special date. Very affordable for the quality, and the Orange Thing is worth every penny.
Have to get the burger anytime I come to Birmingham. Sersly one of the best I've ever had. The chicken liver mousse is pretty sensational too!
Get the country pâté and the croque-monsieur. Both are fantastic!
Absolutely cannot go wrong with the burger here... best in the state ! And, the staff are always very knowledgeable and helpful.

Charcuterie is a great starter for 4 people. Steak frites are delicious, but Skip the chimichurri topping and ask for the maitre d butter
Fancy name? Well yeah. Fancy Turkey Sanswich, nope! But nevertheless delicious! Get it with Pommes Frites . That's French Fries for us common folks.
Try a Havana Sidecar. I ordered it so much they put it on the menu! (originally found it at Balthazar in NYC) It is mt gay rum , Cointreau and fresh sour mix served "up" in a sugared martini glass.
Chicken paillard is excellent. Cheese plate is also worth trying as an appetizer .
The Syrah served by the glass is amongst the very best I have had. Really neat place
Do yourself a favor and try the guinea hen salad . Chocolate pot de creme is delicious as well .
Try the burger ! (says Pars) - $15 for burger , fries & wine , after 9pm.
Burger was excellent! Turkey sandwich also excellent !
The Hamburger is exquisite!!!
While you wait, play a game of boule in the courtyard . It's the perfect way to pass the time in anticipation of a great meal.
The trout and the burguer are simply amazing
